One of the reasons for feeling excessively hot can be your thyroid gland. In a condition called hyperthyroidism, the thyroid makes too much of the hormone thyroxin. This hormone alters the rate at which our body is engaged in creating energy from fuel. When this rate increases we may feel more thirst, hunger as well as increased heart rate and sweatiness. Other symptoms may include diarrhea and rashes too. For women this condition may mean a lighter menstruation cycle and difficulties in conceiving.
